Perfect pass issues - Broken servo knob and something weird with the throttle

[grkero]

So I am upgrading an 11 or 12 year old Perfect Pass Cruise to a Wakeboard Pro. Today I broke the servo black plastic knob trying to loosen it. I replaced the servo motor because it seemed to be frozen up, but now I guess I will have to order that knob from PP because I can't find anyone in town with one.

Anyway, the other issue I am having is at the throttle. Below I took pictures of what I am talking about. When I mess with the cable that attaches to the throttle mechanism, I can straighten it out. Then, I move the throttle at the helm and the mechanism causes the cable to shift a weird way where is attaches to the PP servo cable. It doesn't go back to being straight unless I physically move it to there. Is this normal? Is it going to cause me problems? I just bought the boat and have no idea if the PP was even working with this issue.

I straightened it in this picture...


Then I advanced the throttle at the helm...


Then I returned to neutral...

Your L bracket is probably too tight. It needs to be able to slide freely.

It's loose, it will rotate pretty freely. I just noticed I screwed up these pictures, the last picture is actually when I straightened it.

Your cable could be corroded and binding such that the PP servo is having trouble tightening it up.

Make sure as well that your servo cable is as level as possible. If it isn't, it can bind up pretty easily.
